NBA 2K17 MyPlayer Tips

Attribute Cap

One thing you need to be wary of when you choose your player is that each position has an attribute cap for certain attributes. Basically this means you can work on the attributes but you will never be able to get them as good as those players that are designated for that position. For example, a player whose position is point guard (PG) and whose role is to facilitate scoring opportunities for their team, or sometimes for themselves will never be a power forward (PF) slasher with a perfect dunk rating.

Body Size and Shape

You need to take into consideration your player's body size and shape. If your player for example is going to be a point guard (PG) with a small slender build they are going to be fast. The downside though is they are going to lack the strength and agility needed to defend against bigger, stronger PGs. Another example is having a center (C) who has short arms, this means they will have a small wingspan and will not be as efficient a rebounder as a C that has long arms. Do not worry too much about these factors when creating your player as the game will bring them to your attention and you can make the needed adjustment.

Choosing a Position

If you are the type of player who like to handle the ball a lot then you need to consider playing point guard (PG), shooting guard (SG) or even a small forward (SF). If you choose to be a center (C) or power forward (PF) you will spend most of the game having to rely on getting passes from your teammates. If you are an outside shooter select the point guard (PG) position and if you like to get amongst it and 'bang the boards' go for any of the forward or center positions.

Balanced Player

Try to create as well-rounded a player as possible while focusing on the attributes that are associated with the position of the player you have chosen. Don't focus too much on jump shooting for guards, and rebounding for forwards. You can expand the skillset into other areas for a more balanced and reliable player.

College Draft Order

Remember that how you perform while at college will determine how you to move up or down the draft order. To avoid slipping down the draft you should not force your shot, make bad passes, or spam the pass button off the ball.
